OREGANO - aromatic spice

Origin & History:-

Pronounced flavoring spice and it’s name comes from the Greek words oros (mountain) and ganos (joy). 

Oregano means ‘the mountain of joy’. According to Greek mythology, oregano was created by goddess Aphrodite as a symbol of happiness. The Greek believed using oregano in marriage ceremony would provide joy and usage of oregano in funerals would convey peace to the dead.

After the Romans conquered the Greek, the Romans inherited the use of oregano and the Romans were the ones responsible for the extensive use of oregano all over Europe and abroad. After that, with time this herb found itself a journey from the Middle East to China. In China, they used oregano exclusively for medicinal purposes. As for the United States, oregano did not seem to find itself much popularity until the World War II.
